I hate myself, but… I don’t hate the name.

It is embarrassingly try hard, and a big dollop of cringe, but I don’t hate it.

Maybe she really likes the octonauts and can’t wait to buy him all the merch?
Yeah same here. I mean it could not be more cringe and I’m embarrassed at how cool they must think it is but I kinda expected nothing less. Her response when someone suggested he could shorten it to Toby if he didn’t like it was ‘he’d better not!’ so I don’t think she’s feeling that option!

Unfortunately she won’t get a choice if your mates shorten your name or not….. my mother never shortened my name but the minute I went to school and work it got shortened. No point fighting it! The moral of story is use a name that you don’t mind the shortened version of!

I don’t understand why her husband didn’t veto the name, he’ll have to be popular or hard as nails else get the absolute piss ripped out of him

Nah, there’s no chance the little Octonaut is going to avoid a themed nickname.

The only question is whether he’ll be Kwazii, Shellington, or Captain Barnacles?

I don’t mind October 🙈 it’s really no different to April or May, she’s not as quirky or original as she thinks she is. That bed though… I hope little Toby bites the black paintwork when he’s teething.

So random.

August Stonier would have been lovely.
But that’s like calling a baby Summer when it’s born in Winter. Makes no sense!
October is a ridiculous name though. I thought it was a typo and she was stating when he was born. Poor sod she has such delusions of grandeur. Everyone saying how wonderful must be lying 🤥 😂
I have an August who wasn’t worn in August 🌚

I know from the angle she’s sitting next to him in the back, but he shouldn’t be wearing a beanie while sleeping and/or in the car as it could slip down and suffocate him

She always writes his name october, why not use the capital O which auto corrects when you type October, she's purposely using the lower case 'o', very strange
